Most software developers have the same problem. They ignore what they already know is going to happen: one day, their code will die, just like we all will one day die. This thought is so disturbing to us that we avoid dealing with it until it's too late. No one's code runs forever; yet we all pretend every line of our code will outlive us. And just like the health-nut marathon runner who drops dead of a heart attack, there are no guarantees in life or in code, framework or not. Plan for your code's death. Keep an eye on the next versions, and keep a CI job pinned to them. Read the changelogs. Keep the import EOL dates on your calendar. EOL your own code. We don't get to choose whether our code will die, but we can choose how it goes out. |
